BROOM-HOLDER.

Application filed May 28, 1919.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL C. KINoio,

citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broom-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to imorovements in broom holders, and has for its object to provide a simple, cheap and efiicient device which can be secured to the side of the wall, door frame or other suitable place and in which the broom is securely and conveniently held, and from which it can be readily removed when desired.

The'invention consists of the novel construction and arrangement of the parts and combination of parts hereinafter more" fully set forth in the following specification and pointed out in detail in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawing,

Figure 1 is afront elevation of my invention showing the position of the broom in dotted lines.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of sig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side View of Fig. 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification and in which like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the several views thereof, 1 designates the broom rest which is formed by bending the ends 2 around at tie front leaving an opening therebetween through which the broom handle passes Specification of Letters Patent.

when the broom is being placed in position in the holder. The wire is then bent down at 3 and twisted to strengthen it and then bent laterall forming the arms 4: through which the screws 5 or other suitable fastening devices are passed to hold the device in position. The wire is then bent downwardly at 6 and then bent to form the resilient clamp 7. The outer ends 8 of which. latter are bent over and back against said clamp to forn a guide for the broom handle as it is forced between the clamp 7.

To place the broom in position the handle is forced between the clamp 7 and also passes between the ends 2 of the rest and then lowered down into said rest 1, the clamp 7 holding the broom securely in posi tion.

' Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A broom holder formed with a rest at its upper end adapted to receive the straw end of the broom and having its ends apart to form an opening for the broom handle, a piece projecting downwardly from said restand having two laterallv projectinnarms each having an opening in its outer end, and a clamp at the lower end of said downwardly projecting piece and having its extremities apart and extending around to form a guide for the broom handle.

In testimony whereof I afiiz; my signature.

SAMUEL C. KINDIG.
